If your photos are for commercial purposes, please contact the LRWC office. LRWC is pleased to assist photography and filming projects in conjunction with our Mission Statement. The Conservancy is also an education facility and public attraction, and our visitors are entitled to an experience with a minimum of distraction and inconvenience. In order to accommodate all parties involved, professional photographers are asked to make appointments for a weekday, review our Photography Contract, and obtain a Photography Pass.

Photography PassThe Conservancy's unique collection of beautiful birds makes it an exciting place for photographers. To provide photographers with the access they need to capture the lighting and birds at their best, we offer special half-day photography passes.

Photographers can choose either a dawn to 12:00pm or a 12:00pm to sunset appointment at a rate of $100.00 per person/per half-day ($75.00 for Conservancy members). Appointments are available on weekdays throughout the year.

Those with a Photography Pass receive special access to the aviaries and have great opportunities to capture images of a wide array of waterfowl.​Only one photography party is booked per half-day appointment. A maximum of three photographers are allowed per party.
